Back Garden Allotment

Working in the back garden this morning filling one of the raised beds starting with a layer of magic cardboard and lifting the old decking tiles, some which just fell apart. Scraping the moss and debris off the concrete then laying the tiles. Some of the concrete/ mortar mole hills and levelling mounds have become de-bonded from the underlying slab and need replacing.


wo old tiles and scrap timber


Covered in woodchips


Woodchips levelled then two more tiles and additional timber from a tile that fell to pieces


Another layer of woodchips and the bottom frame of one raised bed is filled


Tiles lifted and broken pegs removed, the moss and silt scraped to de-bond it from the concrete


Concrete swept clean


New tiles laid. I will need to get some mortar mix to level and support in some areas. Trip to B&Q this afternoon to get more tiles and mortar in order I think

20 more timber tiles purchased from the stack they had at Purley Way B&Q.
